Perfect Beach Cottage

Everything about this beach cottage was great. I had to do some of the dishes when we got there and the couches have definitely seen better days but its a rental and that is to be expected. The views make up for any of my OCD issues and we will definitely be back.

5/5 Star Experience

My family and I stayed at Sunrise Cottage for the week of Christmas and the experience was excellent, just as advertised, and we would definitely come back again. The host was very responsive when answering our questions. The house was fantastic with being right on the beach with amazing views and walking distance to restaurants/shops. We would definitely recommend this house for anyone that enjoys the beach life and we plan on coming back again in the future.

Amazing views!

The property is a beautiful beachfront and main room as well as upstairs master suite has incredible beach views from all angles. Kitchen was well appointed, and the decor was just beautiful, the opposite of the usual “beach kitsch” one finds at beach rentals. Comfy king beds, nice TV,s lots of chairs and toys for beach. Whenever we texted property mgmt, replies were super fast and helpful. 5 stars all the way!

Family’s Favorite House

This is our second time staying at Sunrise Cottage, and it keeps getting better. The views, the gated community, the private beach, the restaurants and the shopping just short walk away… The house has all the essentials you need in the kitchen for family meals, and the bedrooms are sizable enough for anyone staying in there. The covered patio on the ground floor with a gas grill and hot tub is perfect to unwind. You can’t ask for a better place to stay. Any issues you may have, the management is quick to respond and takes care of it immediately. We love this house and will absolutely be back!

Great location

We were there for our wedding and had friends and family in town. Thankfully, hurricane Helene didn't bother us.... The location was great! The beach is beautiful. The decks were big for sitting outside. The house was cute but is showing age and wear and tear especially for the price (which I think was off season at the end of September). The main deck was rough and the exterior doors.

This is our second year to rent this property and we love it. The house is perfect for the 7 of us and the location is breathtaking with beautiful views of the ocean. We feel very safe in this gated community and the restaurants and shops are all within walking distance of the house. We love the Sunrise Cottage and will be back next year

Great spot

Really nice beachfront house we had a great time. The weather was great and the house worked really well for our needs. Property manager reacted quickly to a couple of minor needs. Be sure to ask for the free umbrella set you get one with this unit. We had chairs do they gave us 2 umbrellas instead. Set for us everyday

Family vacation

Overall, our stay was good. We loved being on the beach! The umbrella and chair service was incredible. The neighborhood was nice. I wish there were a few more amenities in the area. There were some Small things about the house that need attention. The hose on the deck coming up from the beach is in horrible condition. You basically have to try to rinse your feet off from a break in the hose. The pillows were pretty bad. As with most rentals, pans are really bad. But the kitchen was nice otherwise. Really good appliances. The upstairs master bedroom gets incredibly hot. I would definitely keep the shades drawn all day long.

Sunrise Cottage was Amazing!

For 2 years, my friend and I pick a beach location to stay for a month at the beginning of the year to reset our pampered chef businesses. We invite other consultants to join us throughout the month. Our stay this year was at Sunrise Cottage and was just perfect. The kitchen was very well stock (important for pc ladies) and the home was very clean. We were lucky to be the first group to use the new hot tub! Our friends loved having the space to work independently and in small groups. We had a couple maintenance issues but Itrip customer service was exceptional and took care of little things (ice maker and fire alarms). We all loved the location and how close it was to Gulf Point and the restaurants there. And the VIEWS are amazing! Only tips we have are just decorative: new curtains/drapes on the second floor; ceiling fans would be nice to help move air; and new furniture on the deck and on the second floor master bedroom deck. We all really loved this location!

Pros and Cons

Property is in a very convenient location and is gulf front. However, it is in need of repairs and a good deep cleaning. The door fell off the kitchen cabinet right after we arrived. The upstairs doors leading to the balcony are damaged and will not shut tightly- they blow open in a storm or wind. Rooms are very small and there is not much space to spread out. Kitchen utensils, cookware, and flatware are in bad shape. Pillows and bedding need update. Parking is also very tight- no way you could get five cars in there unless they were all sub-compacts. Wi-fi and password in house and on emails was incorrect. i Trip was responsive to calls but did not send anyone to repair cabinet (although it really didn't bother us.) They also provided a coupon for bikes and that was nice. Overall we had a good stay-

Favorite beach house to date

Our stay at Sunrise Cottage was outstanding. Our family loved the location, the open floor plan for gatherings, and the master bedroom offered some of the best views we’ve seen in all our years of visiting the 30A area. Being in a gated community also provided a sense of camaraderie with the other guests staying there as well. A couple of things need to be mentioned for future guests: 1) Tents are not allowed on this private stretch of beach. This was not an issue, and actually made the beach way less crowded, but that should probably be mentioned in the rental description. 2) The comments about the A/C are true and false. The air works fine. Any beach house with several windows facing the beach are bound to have hotter rooms. However, there should probably be 2 units, 1 for each floor. 3) Beach chair/umbrella rentals should likely be included or offered as part of the rental agreement. With tents and canopies not allowed on this private beach, chair/umbrella rental for the stay should be included in package. With all of that being said, if this house is available for our next planned vacation, we would 150% stay here again!

Great Location, but a few things.....

Overall good house and amazing location...literally on the beach, walkable to restaurants, shops Here are the cons for the price... 1. You can assume folks are traveling so not including beach towels is not ideal 2. Beach chair and umbrella rental NOT included. It absolutely should be!!! 3. You are on a private beach BUT this rental does not "do something" so anyone can sit in front of, beside and behind you while others around you will NOT have that experience 4. Absolutely NO beach toys, rafts, "stuff" to use 5. In the summer if you require one week rentals, MINIMAL dishwasher liquid, laundry detergent, soap, paper towels, toliet paper, garbage bags is NOT feasible. It is not enough! 6. The plants by the front stairs need to be cut back. 7. The hose to wash feet from beach is falling apart. 8. The gate code provided was wrong. We called the mgmt company multiple times. Told us the code was rt. It was not. A neighbor saw us struggling and told us the code. The only way we got in. Overall it is a good house, amazing location as you are rt on beach and close to shops BUT(and a big but) for the price the little things I mentioned above make a BIG difference and make you want to come back and tell others all about it!

Excellent Location, but other issues

You cannot beat the location of the property! You step out the back door, across the deck, and your toes are in the sand! The house is very well appointed, and the king size bed was very comfortable. We had a few minor issues when we arrived that the holiday properties tended to rather quickly. The main issue that was never resolved was the hot tub. It was dirty upon arrival - murky water and sand in the bottom. The property management said someone would be out the next day to clean it. It still was not clean when the 2nd(or3rd) guy came out. The water was also cold. The worker said he had reported that the hot tub wasn't working over a week before our visit. I spoke with the "operations manager" at the property management company and he said he would personally be out to make sure it was working properly. He did not come by, and it never worked the entire time we were there. A hot tub is an added extra that many people(myself included) look for when renting a property. The weather would have been perfect to enjoy it throughout the week. As for the house itself, as I mentioned location, location, location! However certain expectations come along with renting a nice ocean front house. The bent curtain rods and cheap shades in the master bedroom could certainly use an update. All this being said, I plan to visit this area again. I wouldn't rent this house again if it were managed by the same company. Tommie
